The first accident of 2020 Hyundai Creta has already been reported and this happened just a day after the owner got the delivery of his car.
The deliveries of new 2020 Hyundai Creta have already commenced across the countries. The bookings began in March itself and that’s why Hyundai has garnered more than 24,000 bookings till now. Also, Creta became the best selling car of India for the month of May. This is the first time that no Maruti car is in the first position.
Here are some pictures of the first accident of 2020 Hyundai Creta. As you can see, the car is just a day old and unfortunately, it had to go through this so quickly. The accident happened in West Bengal where the driver was crashed into a tree from the side. We are not sure at how much speed was the Creta travelling but looks like at least 50-60 km/hr.

The side fender has come out completely with some damage to the bonnet and body cladding as well. The wheels and bumper have been left unaffected by this accident. This proves that the new 2020 Hyundai Creta is indeed stronger than its previous generation and has a much better build quality.
The owner has complained that the airbags did not open up and claims that it is a manufacturing defect. However, to clarify, this is the mid spec or base spec trim which comes with dual front airbags. So the impact needs to be from the front as the sensors are located there. Even if it had side airbags, the sensors are usually located on the doors or between front and rear door.
Hyundai claims that the build quality of new Creta is so good that it can withstand the power of two elephants on it. A very good initiative from the manufacturer to start working towards stronger cars. More people now understand the safety ratings and NCAP crash tests and want cars which have either 4 stars or 5-star rating.
